CORSETSHIELD.

Shields, of which the following is a speci` ication, reference being had to the' accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to corset shields and has for its object to produce a shield of this character which is adapted to be applied to 4the interior of a corset and rest snugly and smoothly thereon, it being made of material that will not absorb perspiration, retain odors, nor change the color of the eyelets or other fastenings of a corset.

Another object is to produce a shield which can readily be removed from the corset, washed and dried and so freshened, that it will add but very little weight to the corset.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction whereby a corset shield is produced which will possess advantages in the points of efficiency, durability, and is inexpensive to manufacture, and at the same time being extremely simple in' construction.

The invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claim, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which, y

Figure l is a face view showing the inside of ,a corset with my improved shield attached thereto; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Referring. more particularly to the drawings 5 designates the body c of my shield which may be made of storl sheeting or any other non-absorbent material and is also made to conform with the shape of the corset to which it is secured in any suitable manner.

thereon without wrinlling or puckering'and not add materially to the weight or thickness of a corset.

The pieces 6 have their edges sewed together and lapped upon themselves and sewed down as shown at 7, which serves as a reinforcement to help hold the shield in its proper shape.

The edges 8 and 9 of the body are bound with any suitable binding material so that 1t will give the edge a smooth appearance and also prevent the threads of the cloth from unraveling.

It will be noted that the body will not absorb moisture, nor retain odor, and the eyelets or fastening of the corset will not be discolored. It will be understood that this shield may be removed from the corset, washed and dried, and so be capable of renewed service.

While I have shown and described the l preferred construction of my invention, it will be understood that'the same is susceptible of various minor modifications in the form and proportion without departing from the essential features or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

Having thus described the inventionwhat is claimed is A corset lining comprising a plurality of pieces of non-absorbent material sewed together to form a body, said body being of such size and shape as to cover the entire interior of a corset and the seams between the pieces of the body being formed by doubling 'and stitching the edges thereof and forming reinforce ribs for the body, which reinforce ribs also serve to stiffen the corset in whichthe lining is used, certain of the pieces being also provided with doubled and stitched portions forming reinforce` ribs which extend downwardly from the upper edges of said pieces and terminate short of the lower edges thereof.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix' my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
